Hi guys I've been lurking around this forum trying to educate myself about builds and such. I've put together a list of pieces I'd like and the cheapest prices I could find for them. But before I do that, I'll post the questionnaire template! :)

So, the parts that I've picked out are as follows and in Canadian dollars, please let me know if there are any incompatibility issues and/or if you think there are better parts/price for them. I will also be upgrading this computer throughout the year when more funds come through, such as putting in a SSD + Audio card. Thank you!

If you've already started university, see if you can get access to the MSDNAA (MSDN academic alliance) through the uni. You can get Win 7 pro (64 and 32 bit) from there for free as well as some other microsoft software (not office though).

Not every faculty is registered or gets the benefits of the MSDNAA so dont expect to have access to it depending on what you are studying. You can only have access to it once you've started the school semester in the fall

They have some weird requirements for MSDNAA access. I requested for an account to be made since I was in engineering but they denied it since I had to be in EE or CompSci, and was instead told to use the copy of Win7Pro that they kept in one of the computer labs and pirate it -.-. Big YMMV there. And Yes, you have to wait for school to start
